Next thing Mexico city gets in locusts, then a flood. After it dries out, a giant meteor will hit it.
“A 5.8 is 10 times less bad than a 6.8, for instance”
Yes, but we are talking Mexico City. If I were to choose a city NOT to be in during even a moderate earthquake, it would be Mexico City.
You’re right, I must have been thinking of somewhere else.
OK, which of the Four Horsemen was that?
The deaths from that quake are rumored to have been under-counted significantly. And while some buildings are quaked proofed — most are not, the “quake proofing” add-ons are often superficial.
Prayers for all those innocent people...
When will the first apocalyptic politician appear in Mexico City?
He already did. He’ll be recovering from the requisite “fatal” virus here soon.
5.8 is something to worry about in the parts of Mexico City that sit on landfill in the lake ~ or those parts sitting on unconsolidated volcanic ash.”
You are forgetting about the shacks that cling to the hillsides. Made out of scraps they find and use.
“OK, which of the Four Horsemen was that?”
Jim Bob, I think...as opposed to Jim Rob...

Dang. Now folks will have to boil the water before not drinking it.
This is too bad for the folks that are sick and suffering under the Mexican oligarchy.
According to http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2009fya9.php
it was a 6.0 and 145 miles south of Mexico city.
We’re doomed! Unless, the One can go down to Mexico and walk on water.:-)
There will be no containing the swine flu now.
